Framework and functions

Available in dedicated MX/29-inch frame configurations and five sizes, the CAPRA CORE 5 has your back whether you prefer top speed or park fuel for good times. Beneath the stunning liquid metal colorway lies YT’s highest quality Ultra Modulus carbon fiber, which is lighter than the standard High Modulus layup while maintaining the same strength. A TM6000 water bottle sits alongside a Crankbrothers SOS Tube Stash, complete with tire lever and plug, and race-proven V4L kinematics control the 165mm of travel on the 29-inch model or 170mm on the MX, while size-specific chainstays are independent of the rider’s height Driver ensure balance.

A strong, reliable wheelset is a must for every enduro rider. The key words used are the proven Crankbrothers Synthesis Enduro alloy rim and the Industry Nine 1/1 combination. These rims feature specially tuned front/rear profiles with unique spoke counts to improve ride quality, and with 90 engagement points, the rear hub delivers snappy, unconventional pedaling performance.

The contact patches are reinforced by the double-down casing made from Maxxis Assegai and DHR II combination, which fends off punctures and increases grip. The SRAM A Renthal Fatbar/Apex cockpit, SDG saddle, ODI grips and SRAM Code RSC brakes add to the complete package, while HS2 rotors provide more bite and heat dissipation. Finally, the second generation YT Postman Dropper uses an updated rail clamp design with a lower stack height and user-adjustable drop heights.
